Fertilization differences alter the diversity and function of tea plant rhizosphere soil microbial communities, thus affecting tea plant growth.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Fertilization is one of the main agronomic measures in tea plantation management, but the effects of different fertilization patterns on the structure, function, and growth of tea plant rhizosphere soil microbial communities are still unclear. Methods: This study compared the effects of three fertilization treatments: 100% chemical fertilizer (CF), 50% chemical fertilizer + 50% organic fertilizer (COF), and 100% organic fertilizer (OF) on tea plant growth and rhizosphere soil microorganisms. Plant growth indicators were measured, and soil microbial communities were analyzed via high-throughput sequencing of 16S rDNA and ITS regions. Microbial functions were predicted using FAPROTAX and FUNGuild. Results: The COF treatment resulted in the most significant promotion of tea plant growth, with the highest chlorophyll content (30.47 SPAD), leaf area (18.76 cm Discussion: The synergistic effect of combined chemical and organic fertilization enhances lichenized function and suppresses fermentation, which in turn improves the accumulation of soil microbial biomass carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, ultimately fostering tea plant growth. These findings suggest that the COF fertilization strategy can be further optimized and provide a theoretical basis for scientific fertilization management in tea plantations.
